And after Thursday’s pre-fight press conference nearly ended in a knock-down, drag-out brawl (relive the chaos here), all eyes were firmly focused on welterweight headliners Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz, who once again were asked to square off.

In the women’s bantamweight championship co-main event, Holly Holm came nose-to-nose with Miesha Tate roughly 24 hours before they face off with “The Preacher’s Daughter” putting her newly-won 135-pound strap on the line against “Cupcake.”
